Explanation of number 240 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 240 is expressing 240 as the product of prime factors. In other words, it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 240.

Since number 240 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 240, we have to iteratively divide 240 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 240:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 240 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

240 ÷ 2 = 120

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

120 ÷ 2 = 60

60 ÷ 2 = 30

30 ÷ 2 = 15

15 ÷ 3 = 5

5 ÷ 5 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 240. It is: 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 5

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 24 × 3 × 5
